Europeans project their repressed evil onto the racialized Other

Evidence

I said just above that South Africa has a racist structure. Now I shall go farther and say that Europe has a racist structure. It is plain to see that M. Mannoni has no interest in this problem, for he says, “France is unquestionably one of the least racialist-minded countries in the world.” Be glad that you are French, my fine Negro friends, even if it is a little hard, for your counterparts in America are much worse off than you… . France is a racist country, for the myth of the bad nigger is part of the collective unconscious. — Frantz Fanon, Constance Farrington, Black skin, white masks, 338 (#expands, via linked claim)
